Satellite telemetry technology supporting flood protection in Scotland

ongoing

In recent years, the development of flood warning systems has benefited from advances in sensor, datalogger, and communications technology. The expansion of mobile telecommunications has meant that more locations now benefit from increased coverage, allowing water level and meteorological monitoring systems to be installed in remote locations. Scotland's water resources are monitored closely by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) to inform water management and protect the environment. Part of this monitoring activity includes providing a free advance flood warning service known as Floodline.
